Overlooking the era of distributed storage with Engine Miner

A report from the International Data Corporation (IDC) in 2018 says that United States generated around 6.9 ZB (1ZB is approximately equal to a trillion GB) of Datasphere, meanwhile China generated around 7.6 ZB of Datasphere on the same year

In 2025, the United States is expected to produce 30.6 ZB of Datasphere whereby China is expected to produce around 48. 6 ZB. The projection is that the amount of digital data generated (what IDC calls as Datasphere) will grow from 33 ZB in 2018 to 175 ZB by 2025, with a compound annual growth rate of 61%.

A report from International Data Corporation (IDC)

The storage industry will carry 42 ZB of storage data in the next seven years, the forecast of data and storage at 2025 are as listed below:

By 2025, the IoT devices will generate over 90 ZB of data

By 2025, 49% of the world’s stored data will reside in public cloud environments.

Nearly 30% of the Global Datasphere will be real-time by 2025

Undoubtedly, with the development of information technology, the explosive growth of data will create a “data black hole”, that is endless, and at the same time, having a value that is hard to estimate. If the value of the data can be effectively and reasonable explored, it will become an important boost towards economic growth.

Data Black Hole

The rising demand for data storage has triggered a revolution. In which, this revolution is driving cloud storage, data centres, distributed storage, and other competing development, in order to be more efficient, having the capability of conducting ultra large-scale design and having the ability to support the most complex workloads.

Centralized storage

The centralized storage direction represented by cloud storage and data centres has a leading advantage when it comes to the device, network, and operational personnel. But its main problem lies in its privacy, whereby enterprise administrators often get mismatched permissions. And when there is a cyber-attack or hardware problem, it can lead to the loss of your data (theft of information) in the form of one-time loss.

Distributed storage

Meanwhile, the distributed storage represented by IPFS/Filecoin is easy to expand and manage, low cost, and can be quickly integrated without facing the same problem in centralized storage. At the same time, with the development of 5G, the problem of insufficient bandwidth is solved, and the combination of AI (Artificial intelligence), blockchain technology, advanced connection architecture, and the high computing platforms software and hardware advantages has greatly optimized the distributed storage, which also known as the most advanced solution at the moment.

Distributed storage

Under the era of distributed storage, the software and hardware projects built on IPFS protocol are actively expanding more application scenarios and commercial models, proving a broader range of technologies for video, data services, social networking, games, as well as proving a greater expansion stage for the ecology.

In IPFS distributed storage system, the quality of the storage device not only determines whether the node can obtain better benefits but also determines important issues such as whether the stored data is secure.

Canton Artificial Intelligent Technology had fully verified the feasibility and practicality of using AI+5G+IPFS to accelerate the technological revolution. Customizing the world’s first intelligent double mining machine “Engine Miner” that supports IPFS (FIL) and IPSE (POST). The mining machine (adopting Linux customize the multi-mineral system, to achieve efficient mining), optimizes flash memory while ensuring the security of data storage, carrying a variety of application loads, and further integrate with AI to realize intelligent operation and maintenance.

According to IDC, the demand for storage data will continually grow under the impetus of 5G, AI (Artificial Intelligence), and IoT (Internet of Things). It is predicted that by 2025, a normal individual will have nearly 5000 digital interactions per day, and these data have increasingly become an indispensable productivity tool. Therefore, there is an urgent need to upgrade the next generation storage model.

The distributed storage represented by IPFS is actively being practiced. With high performance, high security, scalability, disaster tolerance and backup function as their advantages to deep dive into the key application areas of traditional significance, subvert and reshape existing business models, industry operations, and governance systems.

The future is going to be the implementation era of the distributed economy in a large-scale commercial field!
